My pack may no be so dead yet, and I realized that this pack only have 6,000 miles on it.
Last week I was looking through our Electric Vehicle Lab and Battery Testing Lab on campus and I found out that I might be able to revive my low batteries. I am constructing a 20 AMPs power supply from an ATX PSU, hoping to use that to jolt my low batteries back up. I've been cycling them slowly this past weekend and I have been charging with an increase current rate of 12.5 AMPs hoping it will do something. So far it has been, I was able to drive 14 miles earlier today and I am going to try more later this week.
With any luck I'll be able to drive to school again before the end of the semester, I miss having my dedicated parking spot!
